The seven-member team of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has started its assessment of the Mumbai terror attacks.

The team arrived in the city on Sunday and was in a day-long meeting with the Director General of Police (DGP), Mumbai Commissioner of Police and senior officials from the Crime Branch.

The team is in the process of examining evidence and remnants of explosives gathered from the targeted places and the methodology used by the militants, official sources said.

FBI would be investigating the case from their side as six American nationals were killed in the attacks.

It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has also registered a case in the matter as they had done in the hijacking of Indian airlines' IC-814 plane in 1999 which carried a US national - Jennir Moorie.

Are we so inefficient?By: Divya More | 03-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward jerks

ONLY ONE SOLUTIONBy: Ajay | 02-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Lets not discuss much on this. Do we have suficient technology to identify training camps in POK or Pakistan or afghanistan? Answer : Yes.. Then what are we waiting for? more condolences from international community? more sympathies? or Do some elements in our own system want to give suficient time to these terror conductors to escape? And If we are not getting agressive then there has to be enough reason which should be shared with the indian people. So in Simple words Make no delay.............ATTACK.COME WHAT MAY...

No actionable input to prevent Mumbai terror:By: Syed | 02-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward You are one of the MOST favorite newspaper of Indians. PLEASE PLEASE investigate to find our whether Hindutva parties have hired them to change the election scenario in our country. We (Indians) are very sure that those militants were hired by Hindutva parties to kill the HONEST OFFICERS like Karkare, Kamta and Salaskar.

Attacks in IndiaBy: Gabriel Pena | 02-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward I just saw on ABC News (US) the latest about the attacks. Apparently the FBI had warned their Indian counterparts about the pending attacks in October and November.Simply incredible

condemnation By: basit hussain | 02-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward The nature of threat in todays world has changed. Countries like India need to spend a part of their defence budget in addrssing terrorism, THis would include a robust but sensitive security, honest diplomacy , addressing the concerns of minorities and above all avoiding politicising this issue of terrorism. This may mean a loss of contracts for some western arms exporters but we need to spend at least 30% of our defence budget in modernising and improving security and another 20% of defence budget in social upliftment. Only then can we defeat designs of the likes of lashkar and jaish. It is foolish to expect that others will do our dirty work. It is upto Indian government to do this. And it is upto people of india to reject devisive politics and jingoism of advanis, modis and geelanis. Advani speaking in support of a terrorist was appaling and needs as much condemnation as geelani praising lashkar. NO TO DIVISION YES TO SMART SOLUTIONS
